Starting on Angel Eyes ...Need help

[FuNwaGoN]

Ok guys well it looks like so far my car is doing ok and I am going to be keeping it. Well anyway I have been wanting to do this mod for sometime now and now that I have my garage cleaned out I am ready to go. I have a list put together and plan on going shopping anyday now to pick everything up. Will probably be a 2 day job and would like to do it within the next couple of weeks. At the same time I do this mod I am also going to paint the headlights black and tint the tails.

Anyway now to my question. I am trying to decide how to make the Angel Eyes look. First option is like the BMW's with a angel eye on the low beam and one on the high beam. the other would be a angel eye on the low beam and then another one on the turn signal.

What do you guys think would look better. Right now I am leaning toward the BMW look. It's gonna be tricky but I think alot of time and my heat gun and dremel should do the trick. Oh yeah if anybody is good with LEDs can you tell me what I will need for the LED and the resistor. Want them as bright as possible.

sounds cool.

btw, you gonna come to the charlotte meet?

 

[FuNwaGoN]

damn man when is the charlotte meet. Just let me know and I will try and make it.

march 23rd, check the car meets forum.

bump, any help on this???? I would like to get it done for this meet so I can show off my otherwise stock car.

low beam / high beam would look cool if you can get it done good. (if THAT makes any sense) the high beam might be tough because of the turn signal getting in the way.

i'm sure you've seen this page:

Oh yeah anybody know what the part # for the Factory foglight switch is and how much they run. I am probably going to run a switch so that I can turn the angel eyes on and off.

 

[FuNwaGoN]

yeah njaremka I have been struggling with how to do the high beam. I think I can do it though. Also thought about doing angel eyes on all three the low, high, and turn signal but I think that would look too busy. Really need to get the headlights taken apart before I can really tell if it is going to work or not. Gotta go and get the fiber optic rods that I am going to use. they are smaller in Diameter than the hex curtain rods shown in my previous example and are formed much easier.

Funwagon, check this link out before you buy your led's. I'm currently doing several mods on my Pro. using led's. Hope it helps.

sorry for hijacking your thread again funwagon.

but speedfreak, do you ever come out on wedensday nights? a bunch of us wilmington people meet out near wrightsville beach.

Also, you won't need much of a switch. The really tiny one's at Radio Shack will work. Led's use an extremely low amount of voltage and the only resistance is whatever you add to drop the supply voltage. Figure out which led's you're going to use and then you can find out what type resistors you need.

'Sup Jamie, once in a while. It seems to be dying out up here, (home depot). My wife and I went last wednesday and no one was there, like maybe a dozen cars. Where at in wrightsville beach?

 

[MP3skaterNC]

[SpeedFreak]

Cool, I'll check you guys out tomorrow night then. Changed e-mail and all. Finally got DSL, no more AO Hell!

yeah I'm gonna try this angel eye thing on a practice headlight, I work at a body shop and will try to find something with the same projector style in our headlights. the turn signal is actualy a blessing in disguise, because you can hide the cut of the loop behind it, and the wires - instead of hiding all that behind an eyebrow.

I'll keep people updated.

 

[FuNwaGoN]

sounds good equinox. Make sure you take pictures. I had toyed with the idea of using a hella progector and like fiberglassing it into the low beam part of the headlight but I am just getting started learning to fiberglass so I think I will wait on that mod. Still going to do the angel eyes though. Had thought my a small projector foglight in the place of the turn signal and then do angel eyes around all three and the angel eye on the turn signal could actually flash and function as the turn signal. You could even use a different color light in there but I was afraid that none of this would pass inspections so like I said I am going to hold off on custom fabbing new headlights. really getting serious and planning it on mine now though. Will take pics and write a how to on it whenI am done.
